nothing but thieves // { val && jacques }

Valeria did her hair, shimmied into her dress, and slipped on her shoes all within an hour. All that even included makeup and choosing jewelry. She also carefully picked out everything she needed to slip into her clutch. She brushed back fly away strands of hair and looked into the mirror. Valeria hardly recognized herself as she examined her appearance. Even as a young college woman, she didn’t dedicate this much time to her appearance. College parties were very different when she was dressing up. Valeria put on a pair of earrings and sat and waited, going over her plan in her head.
When someone knocked on her door, Valeria stood up quickly and went to the door. Her heels click-clacked on the wooden floors as she walked. She picked up her dress a bit to avoid stepping on the bottom. It was a rather simple black dress with hints of gems across her waist and shoulder to accentuate her features. She opened the door to see Jacques standing there in a suit and tie. She gave him a small smile. “You clean up nicely, Monsieur Jaminet,” she said, calling him by his cover name. “Are you ready to go?”
